i have a 30 gallon tank, been set up for a while now, and now my pleco is just getting too big:( . ive had him for over 2 years, since i had my very first tank. i want to trade him in, but i don't know for what. i was thinking maybe ottos or shrimp, but i don't know which/how many?:confused: suggestions always welcome!

Well what you gets depends largely on what you want this fish for. If you want algae control you can get 3-5 Otos, 1 BN, or 1 rubberlip.

If you just want a pretty cool looking pleco any of the other dwarf meat eating plecs will do.

Yay for dwarf Plecos! :D
I depends on whether you're looking for an algae eating fish or just to have a Pleco. If you need fish for algae clean up, go with the Otos or a Rubberlip.
If you just want a pretty little Pleco, dwarfs rule ;)

I just got a Rubber Lip Pleco for algae control. He is stuffing himself on the algae that was getting out of control. I highly recommend them *thumbsup2. As PlecoCollector said, "Yay for Dwarf Plecos!" *thumbsups .
